Anabel

There are all whom ye have reverenced from youth.

Ye deemed them holier than yourselves.

Yet here are they all in my worshipping assembly.

By the sympathy of your human hearts for sin...

... ye shall scent out all the places where crime has been committed,

... and shall exult to behold the whole earth one stain of guilt.

Far more than this. It shall be yours to penetrate in the deep mystery of sin.

And now, my children, look upon each other.

Nathaniel Hawthorne Young Goodman Brown

THREE MONTHS LATER

You'll hear from us, thanks.

How sad!

She's so young...

... and lame.

I couldn't stand the noise she made on the floor.

To be honest I couldn't either.

She's ruled out, right?

You bet.

Damn, we are both so tired.

At least you spent all night partying.

Half of the night, remember.

Whatever...

Better that than being up all night syudying.

But if you love it.

I'd rather pass in May and avoid having to study till I drop.

Come on, a little effort now and then...

... civil servant for life.

Make fun of me.

When I am 40 and a failure as an actress It will be you who will laugh at me.

Come on, don't be silly.

So, what?

Shall we?

Yeah, come on.

My favourite is Luis.

Who is Luis?

I'm so bad with names...

Zitface.

WHAT?

Are you kidding? No!

Do you want those pimples here every day?

He seems quite trustworthy.

No way! I'm against it!

That's a fine attitude to take...

There must be someone who we both like.

The plump girl.

Give me a name.

How many fat girls have come today?

Ah!

Yes...

She came at 18.30.

Noe.

Who cares what her name is?

Do you like her or not?

I prefer a girl.

What difference does it make?

What matters now is finding a tenant.

Well, yes.

Yesterday I talked to that bastard Iturralde.

He doesn't mind if there are two or three living here.

He won't lower the rent.

It makes sense.

So we'd better rent that room now. We're losing money like idiots.

I know. I have difficulty making ends meet.

And what about someone from the bar?

You meet a lot of people there...

No... no...

I prefer a stranger.

If there are problems with the rent I don't want personal factors affect us.

You're referring to Anabel, right?

What do you think?

I see.

I guess you're right.

The important thing now is occupying her room.

The room!

That's what I meant.

And what about that Daniel?

I told you I can't recall the names. Who's Daniel?

The blond guy.

Sure!

That one! Yes!

Brad Pitt's twin! That one!

Don't exaggerate!

Hey, that guy here may be a danger.

Are you taking this seriously?

You don't find a middle ground!

Spotty Man or... Male Hottie of the Week.

He's not that hot.

I bet Aitor wouldn't be cool with that blondie staying here.

Aitor is not the jealous type.

At first maybe a little, but he's just getting over it.

Of course,Nyou never go out anymore.

However...

... if he wanted to go after one of us, it wouldn't me, that's for sure.

Come on... No shit...

Maybe the one not very happy by this blondie thing is Fernando.

Who's Fernando?

Sorry?

How can you say “Who is Fernando”?

Who's Fernando?

¡Oh, Fernando!

No, no...

That's all over now.

Already? When?

About a week ago, more or less.

But didn't you tell me you went to that party last night...?

With Simon.

The one I'm with now is called Simon.

I'm gonna stop on learning the names.

I'll bother when you are with someone more than a month.

There's no one left, right?

Open the door. Please.

THE MUTILATED ANGLE

Hello.

He's coming for the room.

Good evening.

Sorry I didn't call before coming...

... but I was just passing by and I saw the sign in the window.

Well, the truth is that...

... I don't have a cell phone.

But I saw a girl coming out of the building. A girl, you know, like...

Lame.

That's it.

I heard her say over the phone...

... that there was a room here at a great price.

So... I decided to come up.

You are looking for a room.

That's it.

May I?

I've been on my feet all day, wandering around.

Look... Frankly...

No offense...

Lucio, my name is Lucio.

Look, Lucio...

... don't take this personally but...

... you're not the kind of roommate we are looking for.

Well... I thought so.

But I had to try.

With the little money I have I can only afford renting a room.

I see...

If somebody had told me some years ago...

A person of my age who can't pay his own apartment.

After a whole lifetime of working...

... it's hard to stoop rent a little room...

... in a students' aparment.

Because you're students, aren't you?

She is...

Well, a civil service exam.

It's the best thing you can do.

And how do you end up this way? You don't seem...

Like a homeless?

There are so many like me now...

Have you been evicted?

Yes.

Shit happens...

And...

When was that?

All started over a year ago.

Suddenly everything went wrong.

First I was fired.

¿Severance payments?

After so many years my company managed to give me a ridiculous sum.

Peanuts.

Then...

... came my wife's illness.

The treatment was expensive and, sadly... it didn't work out.

Your wife...?

Then those bastards from the bank...

You think you have some savings. The pension scheme...

But when you stop paying them some months...

... the interest payments suffocate you.

I threatened to sue them but they laughed in my face.

They told me: "Do you want to sue us? Go Ahead".

But for now, come on, out the apartment and go to the shelter.

The shelter.

That's another story...

It's a good thing now in summer...

... if you have to spend the night in a park, it's not so bad.

Damn, your story should be on the news.

The news? They care about what's hot.

And evictions... went out of fashion. They aren't hot right now.

Well, I really don't want to bother you.

Thanks for listening.

Don't bother. I know where the door is.

Wait!

Thank you, Lucio.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'm starving.

Thanks.

You say the word “hungry” here and something to eat suddenly appears.

What? - Forget it. You do your duty.

Lucio...

Your finger... It's never gonna heal.

I know, but... I keep doing so many things...

Well...

I'm going to fix the faucet in the shower.

I've wanted get on that ever since I arrived...
